What's your business, and who are your customers?
Ruby Spice Inc. is a health and lifestyle brand that promotes wellness and inspires consumers to live in good health inside and out. It provides all-natural products to assist customers with conscious skincare and culinary choices for optimal health.
Tell us about yourself
Zette [my mother] has always done wonders with her hands; asides from cleaning and healing, she makes combined spices with the right condiments. Her lifelong consistencies and diligence birthed RUBY SPICE INC products, including epis Zette, pikliz Zette, and epis Zette with Turmeric. All serve as seasonings and condiments for foods and work in regulating the body's homeostasis, thereby fostering physical wholeness and well-being. Mama's dexterity and competence have greatly influenced my daughter (Amori) and myself (Ruby) in the production of all RUBY SPICE INC products. Grandmother, Daughter, and Granddaughter work together at RUBY SPICE INC., a wellness lifestyle company that pushes healing naturally, inside and out.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Balancing my work-life dynamic.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Time. Finding, creating, and manifesting the time needed to complete projects efficiently. I'm always coming up with great ideas but lack the time to execute them properly. So I've had to restrict myself to completing projects before getting involved in new ones.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Plan for every scenario.
- Talk to and listen to other small business owners. Business courses are a great way to network and meet like-minded, out-of-the-box-minded individuals.
- Be ready to hit the ground running!
